1. The paper with the implausibly large effects of Omega-3 fatty acids on mental health was now retracted. A little thread on the process where @ianhussey.mmmdata.io and I was involved.

Exactly, those 5% donations towards NATO should be redirected towards Ukraine. 🇺🇦
The idea of artificial consciousness is stupid.
It's like simulating a kidney function on your machine and expecting for your computer to urinate on your desk. 😂
@BernardoKastrup, 2021
No, he is not. 🙅♀️
None of you, guys, are.
The recovery of misdirected science funding must go by expert laser not blunt lay axe. @sholtodavid.bsky.social followed up on the scientific aspects of every question or project we had. Rainy scenes but each cloud burned off leaves a clearer view of science worth defending.
The precedent matters because, hopefully, more cases will follow.
Maybe one day #CohesionPolicy millions also will be repaid. 😃
The involvement of lawyers in academic affairs is definitely a way forward: collecting the bill reminds scientists why they exist.
Amazing story by @sholtodavid.bsky.social and @eugenie-reich.bsky.social
These medical X-rays are all deepfakes — and they fool even radiologists
Radiologists and large language models alike have a hard time picking out real medical images from fake ones.

Another retraction today for Sam S Yoon. Still currently Chief, Division of Surgical Oncology at Columbia, having lost many of the papers that came out of his lab to retractions for an epic fraud. Not clear what the consequences were apart from the retractions: forbetterscience.com/2023/11/01/m...
100 years ago RA Fisher set out his views on randomisation. This blog of mine errorstatistics.com/2020/04/20/s... from five years ago tries to explain them.
Did you know that Latvian Progressives were incubated in the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung's Latvian branch?
Not really sure how to reason about it.
@economist.com : "segregation has been reinforced by the school system"
Those evil Latvians treat russians like Blacks under Jim Crow!
In reality, russians refused to learn Latvian, which they called "dog language" (russian was "human language").

Sounds uncomfortably in step with the times. 🤔
Oh, that sounds interesting. 😯
🤭
Oh, wow. 💰
Do you have any idea what the current price is for European excellencies? Is it the same?
Exactly!! 😠😡
Cool. 😎
Oh, something new is coming. 🥰
“There are only two options today: either the world stops Russia’s war, or Russia drags the world into its war.”
In his end-of-year address, President Volodymyr Zelensky put it with brutal clarity.
This is actually a big deal for me - it’s the first work of fiction in more than a decade. I’d denied myself this luxury for so long.
We’re having a fantastic snowstorm on this first day of the year. 🌬️💨
The perfect weather to curl up under the blankets and finish 'The Remains of the Day'.
